Hello,
We've just been introduced to the forum through the purchase of a new woodland in Nottinghamshire. I say new, it's been around a good few years judging by the size of the standards (over coppice - grown out), because we've only just bought it. It's our third piece of woodland, we have another small plot in Notts and one in Derbyshire. The one in Derbys. is just a little bit special and will never, never be sold - at least not while I'm alive. The new woodland is Oak dominated against the Ash based tree cover on the other sites (fingers crossed). I'm a qualified biologist and now spend a great deal of my time working with trees too. And I'm old enough to be harvesting firewood from trees I grew from seed. In fact some of the seed came from trees I grew from seed. Love it! No money but all it takes is a bright Spring day and . . . . paradise.
